Support for Cancer United at OutRunCancer family fun day
Starting and finishing at the Fox Inn Patching last Saturday, the participants all set off at 11am to follow the routes through the Angmering Park Estate.
Jan Sheward, founder of Cancer United, said: “The weather could not have been more perfect for the 220 participants, including members of several local running clubs.

After the event it was time to party and Paul Moore, owner of the inn, put on a barbecue for those who wanted to eat and relax after running.
Music was played by DJ James Connolly, grandson of one of the members of Cancer United, who gave his time to play a range of songs for everyone to enjoy while they browsed the stalls, including a tombola, face painting and a table full of games to play, with hoopla and penalty shoot out attracting children and parents alike.
A stall of cakes disappeared in no time and an ice cream van did amazing business as the weather was so beautiful, said Jan. The day ended with the OutSingCancer choir performing six songs from their repertoire.
